Best NW Recording -- Thank You, CBA

Tom Dantoni just called to let me know that the Cascade Blues Association has named "The Last of the Best" as NW Recording of the Year.

The CBA's version of the Oscar is the coveted Muddy Award, named of course for Muddy Waters. Tom emceed the event this year.

Apparently my bandmates Peter Dammann and Dave Kahl also won individual Muddies for their work on electric guitar and bass.

And if I understood Tom correctly, our Paul deLay tribute show at the Waterfront Blues Festival (for which we were joined by many great artists, including Duffy Bishop, Mark Dufresne, George Bisharat, and past members of the deLay band), was voted Performance of the Year.
